According to a report on Channel 12, Bardugo has begun holding initial contacts on the subject to examine the feasibility of establishing the party.

During the meeting, which took place right below the Keshet 12 system, Bardugo was heard speaking loudly about his political intentions.

A random source who overheard the entire conversation said the two discussed various topics, including Prime Minister Netanyahu's wife Sara and Gilad Erdan. While Braverman spoke quietly, Bardugo was clearly heard claiming that he was considering forming a party that he would head.

According to the report, Bardugo estimated in the conversation that such a party would bring in seven seats.

At one point during the meeting, Bardugo received a phone call and handed the cell phone to Braverman, who spoke to the person on the other end of the line. When the call ended, Bardugo took the phone back and said loudly, "Okay, Momo, see how much this will bring...""

""Momo" is Shlomo Filber, a Channel 14 commentator. According to Channel 12, Filber was asked in the conversation to check the strength of the party that Bardugo might head.

Bardugo denies the news.
